Sabre saw blade Bosch S 123 XF Progressor for Metal

The Bosch S 123 XF Progressor for Metal is a bimetal sabre saw blade engineered for cutting a range of metal profiles and pipes. Its progressively increasing tooth pitch (1.8–3.2 mm, approx. 8–14 TPI) and special tooth geometry provide fast, controlled cuts in both thin and thick steel, with a standard blade length of 150 mm and a cutting capacity up to 100 mm. The blade is compatible with sabre saws using a 1/2" universal shank system and is intended for regular-strength steel pipes and profiles with wall thicknesses from 1 mm to 8 mm.

Advantages

The bi-metal construction combines flexibility and wear resistance for longer blade life. Progressive tooth pitch allows rapid cutting across materials of different densities while maintaining a smooth finish. The tooth design is optimized for steel, reducing vibration and improving cut stability when working with pipes, profiles and sheet sections. The 150 mm length provides sufficient reach for many common cutting tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting regular-strength steel pipes (wall thickness 1–8 mm)
• Cutting steel profiles and sections
• Work on metal sheets of varying thicknesses
• Use in demolition, renovation and on-site metal cutting tasks

How to use

Fit the S 123 XF Progressor for Metal into a compatible sabre saw with a 1/2" universal shank system according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Secure the workpiece and select an appropriate cutting speed for metal; apply steady, moderate feed pressure and allow the blade to do the cutting. For best results on thicker sections, begin cutting at lower speed and increase as the blade progresses. Replace the blade when cutting quality declines or if the blade shows visible wear.

Recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection and hearing protection) and clamp the workpiece securely. Use cutting fluid when recommended for the material to reduce heat build-up. Choose this blade for routine cutting of regular-strength steel pipes and profiles within the specified wall thickness range.
